welcome to my life

It's officially Valentine's week, and love is definitely in the air! I'm so excited to get to spend some quality time with my boyfriend on the coast this weekend on a romantic little getaway by the ocean.

Lately my closet has been filled with neutral tones -- blacks, grays, and tans, with the occasional burgundy or military green item tossed in -- but for Valentine's Day this year I decided to opt for something a little different.

I absolutely adore the bright pink hue of this dress, as well as the cheeky cutout that mimics the look of a 2-piece ensemble. The heathered gray sweater tones down the "cutesy" vibes while adding a bit of a casual vibe that's perfect for the coast, and some sky-high strappy stilettos add instant sex appeal.

When it comes to dressing my man for the big day, I'm all about minimalistic tones and sleek accessories, such as this incredible tie from Skinny Tie Madness. Their ties, shown here in the "Vodka Breath" style, all feature a unique twist on the traditional skinny tie -- starting with the names! I love this one in particular because it will go with pretty much any outfit, but any of them are the perfect way to add an easy statement to any look.

Elliott and I will be spending this Valentine's Day weekend beach-side along the Oregon Coast, and I can't wait to walk along the cold winter shores and enjoy some fine seafood and drinks while the sun goes down.

What are you all up to this Valentine's Day? Let me know in the comments below, and have a great one!
